Our Mission
When we set out to create FUSTLE , our goal was to create bikes that fixed problems and made riding more fun, all from our base here in Northern Ireland.
It all started by developing our dream gravel bike with proper tyre clearance, a dropper post and confidence inspiring, playful geometry right here on Irelands 'Causeway' Coast.
Our mission Now?
To create bikes that bring a smile to your face!
To nurture and develop the world class cycling heritage that has existed here in Ireland for decades.
To develop solutions for real riders who get punctures, who crash and who share stories about their ride with this incredible community.
ENGINEERED FOR PURPOSE
Our bikes are designed to blend versatility, with functionality. But don't be fooled, they are hell bent on taking you exactly where you need to go!
Smooth is fast...
The LAKELANDER features a hidden linkage integrated into the top-tube provides trail smoothing suspension to remove chatter and soften square edge impacts enabling you to focus on the trail ahead and conserve energy.
A serviceable aluminium linkage assembly provides lateral stiffness paired with a 30a durometer elastomer to manage the impacts being transferred through the rear wheel.

We gathered our team of riders, some were experienced cyclists, and some were not. For 2 or 3 team members, this event would be the first time they had swung a leg over a bicycle in 20-30 years. No easy task when you consider the event takes place on open roads, throughout day and night, and with the ever reliable Northern Irish weather to keep you on your toes.
Having recently ridden lots of new places, either with friends, customers, or during events like the Pan Celtic Gravel Rally, a good GPX file with some friendly pointers can make the difference between having a great experience, and a nightmare!
We have started to put together a list of routes for those fellow gravel riders based in Northern Ireland (We hope to expand this to a wider audience soon) and will continue to add to it over the coming months.
